Dream creator(s) to work with: Probably David LaChapelle—I came across his art when I was in high school and it opened my eyes to how just how culturally impactful “celebrity” + “art” could be.

Favorite thing about advertising: The opportunity to make micro changes on a macro level, even if it’s simple as making people smile, laugh, or think about something just a little bit differently.

Most challenging aspect of the industry: You hear the word “no” a lot
